Proposing to the Earl of Aynsley seems a sensible--if unconventional--solution to Miss Rebecca Peabody's predicament. As a married woman, she will be free to keep writing her essays on civil reform. Meanwhile, the distinguished widower will gain a stepmother for his seven children and a caretaker for his vast estate. But the earl wants more than a convenient bride. He craves a true partner, a woman he can cherish. To his surprise, the bookish Miss Peabody appears to have every quality he desires... except the willingness to trust her new husband. Yet despite his family's interference, and her steadfast independence, time and faith could make theirs a true marriage of hearts.
MARRIAGE OF INCONVENIENCE by Cheryl Bolen
(Love Inspired Historical)
Miss Rebecca Peabody, desperately wanting to change her life so she proposed marriage to the Earl of Aynsley. She told him what a great benefit to him she could be....taking care of his seven children and managing his estate. Only if she became a wife would she be able to write her political essays.
At first Aynsley just laughed at the idea. He did not want a wife but when her figured out that Rebecca had been writing the great political essays he had been reading, he decided to get to know her a bit more.
I believe God guides our life and this story about Rebecca and John was a great story to show that. A very uplifting story..
